LEADING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
An Institute for New and Seasoned Leaders, Managers and Supervisors

Providing excellent leadership and supervision for employees is challenging work.  Newer leaders often lack the knowledge of best practices in leadership and supervision, and seasoned leaders have their own unique challenges in supporting employees with the proper balance of support and accountability.  This two-day institute is designed for managers and supervisors at any point in their careers, from first-time supervisors still finding their footing to long-tenured leaders looking to sharpen their approach.  The training covers areas that matter every day in a Head Start program: emotional intelligence and self-regulation, building a strong program culture with teamwork, healthy communication and conflict resolution, and supervising employees for optimal performance, conduct, and quality.  The institute will provide space to think honestly about your own leadership and supervision skills and to learn alongside peers from around the state, and you will leave with practical strategies to implement in your work.
